I was born in Willcox, AZ and grew up in Benson. I attended Benson Schools from kindergarten-high school and graduated from BHS in 1995. I attended Pima Community College in Tucson, AZ immediately following high school and received my Honors Associates Degree in General Studies. I transferred to the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ where I received my Bachelor's of Science Degree in Family Studies and Human Development.

I am married and have two daughters who also attend Benson Schools. My husband and I have been foster parents and host parents of teenagers. My family is actively involved in our community through sports and volunteer opportunities involving children.

Some things I enjoy in my spare time include spending quality time with my family, watching and playing softball, reading, watching movies and eating delicious Mexican food!

I love living in the Benson Community and enjoy working with the people here and children of all ages. It is my passion to serve and encourage others to do the same.
